Growth of Kashiwa Campus In 1998, The University of Tokyo established a new campus about 30 km northeast of Tokyo located in Chiba prefecture, in the northern part of Kashiwa city, adjoining Kashiwanoha Park, and the University has consolidated several academic and research units since then. At the beginning of 2011, the total number of faculties, graduate students, and researchers at the Kashiwa Campus exceeded 3,100.

Kashiwa Campus is the newest of the three main campuses of The University of Tokyo in addition to campuses at Hongo and Komaba, and was established with the vision of building a new community with a strong interdisciplinary and international character that can respond to the dynamic scientific and educational needs of the 21st Century. Hongo Campus, the core of traditional academic activities at The University of Tokyo since its foundation in 1877, and Komaba Campus, focusing on undergraduate studies and building interdisciplinary links between established fields of study for over 60 years, have longstanding academic traditions. Kashiwa Campus recently joined this family and aims at a fundamental reorganization of the structure of traditional academic disciplines, reconsidering the framework of how knowledge is created and organized. Under the slogan of “Adventures in Knowledge”, Kashiwa Campus has started various new initiatives. The Graduate School of Frontier Sciences (GSFS) consists of three divisions each with relevant departments: Division of Transdisciplinary Sciences, Division of Biosciences, and Division of Environmental Studies. GSFS aims to create new frontiers of academic fields. The Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP) is exploring a wide variety of phenomena exhibited by various materials from the viewpoint of basic science using state-of-art experimental facilities and techniques. Materials under study include those forming the basis of today's high-tech society and its future development. The Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) is pursuing the origins of the universe and matter through research on cosmic rays. The Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute (AORI) not only promotes basic research on the ocean and atmosphere, but also contributes to society through deepening ocean and climate science. University of Tokyo Institutes for Advanced Study, Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe（Kavli IPMU）pursues the deep mysteries of the universe through the integration of Physics and Mathematics. Other artments include RACE (Research into Artifacts, Center for Engineering), the Center for Spatial Information Science, Kashiwa Branch of the Environmental Science Center, the Information Technology Center, the Institute of Gerontology and the Kashiwa Library. As the names suggest, these facilities bring together people from a wide variety of research fields. As an important part of facilitating communication between research fields, Kashiwa Campus also has a strong international character, promoting international contacts and the exchange of ideas from around the world. Through the facilities that exist now or will be built in the near future, Kashiwa Campus has excellent coverage of many of the new fields of science that have growing importance in shaping our lives in the 21st Century. Abandoning the constraints of traditional ways of organizing science, Kashiwa Campus has quickly responded to the continuously evolving frontiers of science in an increasingly global and dynamic society by building new interdisciplinary research facilities and seeding new academic fields. These achievements will make the “adventures in knowledge” in Kashiwa possible.

■ University Consortium Tokatsu University Consortium Tokatsu was founded to promote further development of the Tokatsu area in collaboration with Kashiwa and four other nearby cities and eleven universities. It consists of three actively operating sections: “Internationalization”, “Teganuma Lake”, and “Learning and Practice”. The University of Tokyo participates as a member.

■ Cooperation with the Tokatsu Techno Plaza Tokatsu Techno Plaza, established by Chiba prefecture, is an organization that provides support for corporate research and development in the prefecture. The University of Tokyo participates in the following projects:

・University Research Exchange Salon At this workshop, researchers from the University among others provide lectures and consultation to people from the corporate and government sectors about new technology and new product development. The University of Tokyo sends a lecturer and consultant to this workshop.

・Summer Science Class This class educates children on different views of science, and teaches the importance and joy of making things with their hands. The University of Tokyo sends an instructor to this class.

■ Cooperation with the Todai Kashiwa Venture Plaza The Todai Kashiwa Venture Plaza was established by the Organization for Small and Medium Enterprises and Regional Innovation Japan. It provides support to small and medium venture firms that aim to research and develop new products and new technology or to enter new technology fields based on university discoveries and inventions. The University of Tokyo cooperates with many of the firms involved.

■ Cooperation with the Japan Atomic Energy Agency A Researcher-in-Residence from The Center for Computational Science & e-Systems at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency is always on the Kashiwanoha Station Campus and promotes joint research on high technology computational science toward complexity phenomena of materials, structures, and fluids. The University of Tokyo cooperates in growing human resources in supercomputing and its application fields.

■ International Exchange Activities Kashiwa Campus is defined as the international base of The University of Tokyo. The International Center Kashiwa Office assists students and researchers from abroad concerning visa procedures, housing information, and a variety of other services as well as acting as a contact to regional municipalities. Additionally, the International Lodge (Kashiwa Lodge) opened on Kashiwa II Campus in 2010. The University is planning the development of an “international village for all disciplines”. The idea is that foreign students and researchers from all over the world come together to exchange ideas and learn in an environment where learning and living are in the same place.
